OVERVIEW:
Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, discusses a hiring system he learned after attending a recent mastermind. The hiring process is mission-critical for the success of your business because the team is responsible for outcomes. Jason provides tips for seeking out A-player candidates, the best way to conduct interviews, and why you should always be in a recruiting mode.
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
- The hiring process is an important step for driving business success. You should hire new employees based on core values.
- When interviewing applicants, avoid making decisions based on gut feelings.
- Bill Allen, a real estate investor, and entrepreneur was a speaker at a recent mastermind Jason attended. He recommends the book Who: The A Method of Hiring by Geoff Smart and Randy Street because it has a well-researched hiring system.
- When you make a bad hire, it costs you at least that position’s salary. And that figure can go up to 5-15x based on time and money.
- Start with a good job description. Have a crystal clear vision about the work to be done and how performance will be measured.
- Use a scorecard and include the mission of the job, six to seven detailed breakdowns of what the position will do, and when the actions should be completed.
- Break down interviews into three to filter top candidates for the position.
- The first is the screening interview. Ask applicants about career goals, skills, strengths, weaknesses, and who their last five bosses were.
- Next is the main interview, where references (the last five bosses) are called to probe deeper into the applicant's experience and performance.
- The last is the focused interview which highlights the specific skills and traits demanded by the job.
- Always be in a recruiting mode because you never know when rockstar employees are looking.
- A-players are pulled to other jobs; B and C players are pushed out the door.
- If you want an above-average business, you need to hire significantly above-average people.
3 KEY POINTS

- Interviewing is critical in the hiring process so it must be done thoughtfully and intentionally. Hire new employees based on core values.
